Very good hotel with a great location!
We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in mid-Oct. prior to our cruise. We were extremely happy with this hotel. The room was very clean, the bed was quite comfortable. Our room faced the street, but if there was noise, we simply closed the window & shutters and it was very quiet. The breakfast was adequate...juice, coffee, pastries, cheese....and yes, the crazy yogurt machine ( we declined). But the rate was reasonable (110 Euros booked through Rick Steves). The location was perfect. We walked to Termini with four heavy bags and it only took us about 10 minutes. Many restaurants nearby, AND a great grocery store about a block away (SMA). We looked out at the Santa Maria Maggiore from our window, and there was a cute outdoor cafe right across the street. Everyone at the front desk was extremely helpful, spoke excellent English, and were very polite. The only caveat is that the shower enclosure was quite small...particulary for us "healthy" Americans. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
Great Value and Good Choice
Hotel Montreal is a good choice for a safe sturdy hotel within walking distance to the Termini (Rome’s central train and metro station). The afternoon desk clerk was super helpful. He told us what to see and how to see it. He gave us some good advice, which made a big difference. The place locks down at night and the hotel staff keeps tight control on who comes and goes. A big plus for us is that their English was really good.
The room and bathroom were very small and the beds could have been softer. For the amount of time we were at the hotel, it was fine. If you are looking for upscale high-end accommodations, Hotel Montreal is not the place for you. If you a looking for a clean and safe place to sleep while touring the Roman capital, then I would recommend the Hotel Montreal.
Exceeded expectations and put our first European trip at ease
Being our first trip to Europe, my wife and I were most apprehensive about our accomodations for 2 nights in Rome before we boared our cruise ship. Found this hotel through Rick Steves, and couldn't have been happier. A polite and helpful staff, excellent location, great little room (It is Europe, had AC too), decent breakfast to start the day (Saved some Euros here), great security, within walking distance of major sites (Antiquity), transportation (Metro and Termini), and great dining. Worked very hard to keep graffiti at bay. Would stay here again.
